It was bizarre in that way. His descriptions were bleak, but the character’s responses to their surroundings seemed numb. Of course, I can’t even imagine any place whose only goal was to destroy someone’s sense of self. I know these camps exist but I find it disgusting and horrible.

It’s too bad it fell a little short of that.

Thank you! I didn’t know how else to describe the feeling. This story should have knocked me over, but it didn’t.
